Yeah, I read your conversation with him about selling the front clip after. I've read, way in the past, in those ancient paper things called magazines, that many of the race cars that were dipped were never properly neutralized and eventually rusted to dust while sitting neglected. If the clip was already in bad condition and the rest of the body wasn't properly treated at that time, that is what could have happened to the body too.

I thought I read the body was sold with no tags or title and if it kept rusting to the point of not being worth repairing and no on knew it was any different than a base Camaro, it may have gone to Camaro heaven a long time ago.
